Contestants in grades Pre-K-3 were asked to color a picture that went with a poem, grades 4-5 were to make a poem out of the letters, L-I-B-R-A-R-Y, and 6th grade and up made a poem out of, I L-O-V-E P-O-E-T-R-Y.

Special thanks to our local poet, Ginny Odenbach for all her help with National Poetry Month…..
